more nitpicky pedantry ... i was under the impression that if one
wanted to identify the model of beaglebone, one could read the EEPROM
and, near the beginning, one would find the ID string of "A335BONE"
for the original BBW and "A335BNLT" for the newer BBB, correct?

  so, first, that means that it would *not* be sufficient to simply
read "A335" to claim that the board was specifically a BBB, would it?

  and, second, i chanced across element 14's BBB SRM here:

http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1818802.pdf

where in table 6 on p. 58, the EEPROM contents list (allegedly for the
*BBB*), the board name in ASCII of "A335BONE", which is for the BBW,
no? so that table seems incorrect.

  or am i just misunderstanding the EEPROM contents?
